Over heating??
Permalink  
 


So got an annoying problem with my DT... i cant find any leaks.. but the water seems to disspear from my radiator?! i keep having to top it up, would it be coming out thru the head gasket or what? it's really stumped me. i dont wanna sound stupid by asking this. but i now have no ideas... new head gasket ??

 

Could it be that ive got too much gearbox oil in?

Make sure you skim the head and barrel mate.

Else you'll be wasting your time

Also make sure it's either genuine or Athena. I use Genuine but have used Athena's no problem.

Also can you double check it is the head before you go ahead.

Stick your fingers into the radiator and check for oily residue.
